As a result of the Colorado Clean Air Clean Jobs Act, Xcel Energy has proposed to reduce Colorado coal-fired generation emissions by retiring, repowering and retrofitting several power plants.

#1  Retire 900 megawatts of coal generation at its Valmont and Cherokee power plants by the end of 2017 and 2022 respectively.

#2  Repower its Cherokee power plant with 883 megawatts of natural gas generation and switch to natural gas at Arapahoe unit four.

#3  Retrofit approximately 950 megawatts of coal-fired generation at the Pawnee and Hayden power plants with new emissions control technology.

The plan would reduce NOx emissions by 89% by the end of 2022.  The estimated cost of new construction is $1.3 billion over the next 12 years.
